[Old; Revising for RE] Born a few minutes prior to his younger fraternal twin - to Glowchus Vespera and Kane - Clyde spent the early years of his life in the Forest of Respite, high in the mountains that divide the once separate regions of Kalos and Unova. From a very young age, it had always been very clear to his parents that there just... wasn't something quite right with their eldest child. He was bad tempered, unruly, and seemed to take quite a pleasure in making their lives difficult. At ten years old, he decided that it was high time he struck out on his own and, dragging his younger twin with him, he set off to see the world.

Things didn't go quite as he expected, however. The two struggled for survival in this danger and strife ridden land for almost a year before meeting up with a group of other wayward kids, under the influence of which, Clyde's behavior became all the worse which, likewise, led to the estrangement of him and his twin. One thing led to another and in his search for power, Clyde eventually joined up with the military system only to lose his position a few years later after single-handedly wiping out an entire village, a crime for which he was locked away. After his eventual escape, he took up mercenary and bounty hunter work as a means of survival until he stumbled upon Mirage and her tower, declaring the location his home and coming and going as he pleases.
